OF THE PRIMARY.
The Ticket Nominated.

Republican voters at the prlmarle
last Saturday, assembled in the Ope
ra House in Butler on Monday las
and counted up the votes received b.
the different candidates. The othe
proceedings of the Convention will b
seen in another place. BY them
will be seen. the following are the sue
cessful candidates.
FOR SHERIFF.
Col. Oliver G. Redic, has carried
of the prize We need not say
that this is a good nomination. NJ
more deserving man than Col. Redie
was before the PEOPLE. On thu
breaking out of the Rebellion ano
when yet a young man he was among
the first to enlist for the cause of tht
Union, His bravery and good con
duct gained him rapid promotion ant
be became the commander OF th'
Regiment to which be belonged. A
the head of his Regiment he led his
men in some of the hardest Tough
and bloodiest battles of the war, ant
they all speak of him as brave and
daring. Besides his merit as SOL
.dier Col. Redic has all the qualifca
tions necessary to make good and
safe Sheriff. We regard his nomina
ton as a strong one and one that the
people will ratify in November.
FOR PRoTHoNOTARY.
The nomination has fallen to Mr.
John D. HARRISON, of Clinton town,
ship; this was generally expected
from the large vote he received three
years ago for this Office. He is a man
of good character, industrious in his
habits, worthy as citizen and fully
competent to fill the office. He comes
from one of the oldest families of the
county. The nomination of Mr.. Har'
bison is the only one the southern
end of the county gets and as he mas
many friends his election in the fall Is
assured.
FOR REGISTER AND RECORDER.
Capt. Hugh Alfred Ayers came out
first best after lively contest for this
nomination. His merit as soldier
in the late war was not overlooked by
the Republican voters. Although
young he was among the first to vol.
unteer in defence of his country and
soon rose to the rank Of Captain of his
company. As citizep he fills every
duty of life faithfully. His nomina.
tion is regarded as not only deserved
but as a strong one, and of his election
in the fall there cannot be doubt.
FOR COUNTY TREASURER.
Mr.. Amos Seaton is the successful
candidate. Like in the cases or Col.
Redic and Capt. Ayers the voters OF
the county have recognized his ser
vices to the Union cause in the late
Rebellion. Amos Seaton was a pri-
vate in the ranks and all accounts
bear testimony to his fidelity and
bravery. In battle he received very
severe wound which for long time
threatened his life ard from the eff
fects of which he yet suffers. Ills
is conceded on all hands
to be a strong one and his election
as certain.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
These important nominations have
fallen upon Mr.. Andrew jackson
Hutchinson and Mr.. Beriah Magoifin
Duncan, and we but voice the gener-
al sentiment when we say that two
better or more competent and worthy
men could hardly be found in the
county. The name of Jack Hutchi-
SON." as be is familiarly known to his
neighbors and fellow citizens, is one
that implies kindness of feeling TO-
wards him and regard for his merit
and worth. From the first of the
campaign his success seemed to be
conceded and the leading vote he re-
ceived attests his popularity with the
people.
Mr.. Duncan comes from one of the
oldest, best known and most respected
families of this county. He is cieaI
headed, straight forward man, honest
and correct in all his dealings with
bis fellow citizens, and will make an
efficient county commissioner. His
vote over other strong and good com.
petitors indicates his merits and
strength. Mr.. Duncan and Mr.
Hutchison are both the right kind of
men to serve the people as their coun.
ty commissioners, men of intelligence
and with good judgment, who viii
know the interests ofthe taxpayers ol
the county and who cannot be deceiv-
ed or misled in the performance OF
their duties.
FOR CLERK OF THE COURTS.
The denomination of Reuben Nc.
Elvain, Esq, proves his worth as
citizen and an officer. Nothing but his
being so general favorite with the
people could have insured his success
over strong and worthy competitor.
His election in the fall is of course GER
tain.
FOR COUNTY AUDITORS.
The choice fell upon Robert A
Kinzer and Isaac S. p. DeWolfe
These gentlemen are good scholars anc
accountants and no doubt will serve
the people in that capacity faithfully
and well
CORONER
For this Office Alexander Storey,
Esq, had no opposition. Mr.. Storey
is well qualified and will make an at
tentive and judicious Coroner.
STATE DELEGATES.
For Delegates to the next Republi-
can State Convention the honors fell
upon Capt. Thomas Hays and J. H
NegIey, senior Editor of the CITIZEN
The time for holding the Convention
has not yet been fixed, but is thought
will be in the latter part of August
or first part of September.
Taken altogether the ticket nomi
mated is good one, and is we'll dis
tributed over the county. No com
plants are made of any successful
one having used unfair means to Sc
cure his nomination, and hence al
nominated will have the support OF
